Happy 2026! The first post for Daily Scorecard starting with where it all started. @TheHomeofGolf I had the good fortune to play the Old Course twice and had @caddiegolftours alongside for both trips around. What an experience!
The 44th @CurtisCup kicks off today at Bel-Air CC in Los Angeles. Good Luck to Team USA @USGA@MegsStasi and Team GB&I @RandA@Beany25 I hope to make it out for this afternoon's Foursomes matches. By all accounts the course is in magnificent shape!
Off to Northern New Mexico and @BlackMesaGC The @RB_Spann design opened a couple of decades to lots of buzz. Still just as beautiful today. Host of @SunCountryGolf Senior Open later this summer. @LardonBrad is the defending champ!
Off to south central Wisconsin and Decatur Lake CC. Opened in 1926 the country course closed a few years ago. The property is now owned by Southern Wisconsin Land Conservancy and on this site is Three Waters Reserve which makes the land avail for special events. @Wisdotgolf
Off to Oregon and just west of Portland for @QuailValleyGolf Closed for good last year -- making way for a housing development. As covered on the local news by @NickKrupke : https://t.co/Ii7NZGmoUv
Off to Virginia's Shenandoah Valley @packsaddle_golf A beautiful course in the beautiful countryside. Tight against the southern edge of the Massanutten range. Not far from @VisitHburgVA Designed by Russell Breeden and longtime @JMUSports golf coach Jeff Forbes. @ForbesDevLLC
Jock Hutchison born OTD 1884 -- winner of 1921 @TheOpen in birthtown @TheHomeofGolf but became a US citizen making mark in Chicago. In 1920 won Western Open @OFCC_1915 then went across the street to Flossmoor and won @PGAChampionship@WGAESF@CDGAGolf + 36 years pro @ Glen View
Off to St. Louis and the Glen Echo CC. Host course for the 1904 Olympics. An appropriate post this week as the best women in the world are now getting their first good look at the venue for @la28@IGFGolf
Happy Birthday Sandra Haynie! The @GolfHallofFame member from Fort Worth won 42X on @LPGA
In 1974 Haynie won 6X starting with the Lawson's LPGA Open @WeymouthCC in Ohio. The next week Haynie won the @KPMGWomensPGA and a month after that the @uswomensopen What a run!
Hale Irwin born otd 1945. 3X winner of @usopengolf the last coming at Chicago's @MedinahCC #3 Course in 1990. The @GolfHallofFame champ was kind enough to sign this card (and a few others) for me. Host of this year's @PresidentsCup
Back to Vermont and the Basin Harbor Golf Club. Open to the public and linked to the @basinharbor hotel -- the Geoffrey Cornish design is right on #LakeChamplain and about halfway between @FortTiconderoga and Burlington
To the badlands of Alberta and @DinosaurTrailGC next door to @RoyalTyrrell Museum -- featuring one of the world's largest dinosaur collections. The course runs alongside the Red Deer River @RDRiverNats AND also plays on top of hoodoos! #geology
Off to England and a thank you to @wakefieldgolf for the scorecard! A beautiful and beloved parkland course in Yorkshire. The club dates back to 1891 and touts its Dr. Alister MacKenzie bunkers. Also proud home of 3X @DPWorldTour winner @DanJBradbury@bpiauctions
Wrapping up my Ohio trip with scorecards of places I didn't get to play. @ShaleCreekGC like other courses makes it known that outside booze is a no no. But they actually put the state law on the card! Meanwhile @TheHillGC61 says "no excessive drinking allowed" #cheers@ohiogolf
My last round in Ohio this past week was @fowlersmillgc east of Cleveland. A Pete Dye design on a fantastic property. Built as a company course for TRW -- now open to public play. HUGE Shout out to the clubhouse staff for framing and showing off their historic scorecards.
